In Literacy, we will complete our last pieces of work linked to the story ‘Emmanuels dream’. This week the children will be thinking about their own dreams and goals for the future. What are their dreams? Is there something they dream of doing? Is there something they want to get better at? In partners the children will brainstorm their goals/dreams for the future and what they will need to do to achieve it. The children will then record what their dreams/goals are in sentences and how they will get there. |

Please note this is a basic overview of the planning for this week. It is impossible to cover in this outline all the learning that takes place during a week! We also believe in listening to your children and responding to their interests and ideas therefore all our planning is flexible. Please note some of the learning will take place across more than one week and during some weeks the learning focus may not cover all curriculum areas.
